Hard work doesn't take a break! JCS Custodial Services spent time this week to level up their skills with specialized training on gym floor resurfacing. Big thank you to Kenway's Ron Redmon for his help leading us through this process and to our team for keeping our facilities in top-tier condition for our students.
Happy Holidays from the CO Annex crew!
Last night, the incredible teachers and staff from EJMS went above and beyond to bring the holiday spirit directly to their students' doorsteps! 🎄
With a school bus decked out in twinkling lights, their team set off through neighborhoods to spread some serious cheer. From singing festive carols to handing out steaming cups of hot chocolate, it was an evening filled with smiles, songs, and, two of the best gifts we could've asked for, family and community. 🎁
Congratulations to Braylon and Jaxsyn for being recognized as November's Bus Students of the Month. Braylon and Jaxsyn were recognized by their drivers Ms. Tammy and Mr. Willie. Great job by all!
All aboard! 🚂
JELV students were thrilled to leave their classroom on a virtual train today, journeying to a habitat they've been learning about! What a way to explore the world, no passport required! 🌍

Great job, Jags and Colts!
We love seeing our students celebrate the joy of reading! 🗺️
Mrs. Baxter's kindergarten students at JELV are combining phonics with fitness in a game of "Stomp and Spell." They had so much fun mastering their letters and sounds that they asked to play again during indoor recess!
JCS teachers truly know how to make learning come alive! 💡
We are incredibly grateful for our dedicated teachers and staff who pour their hearts into our schools, our supportive families who partner with us every day, and, most of all, our amazing students who inspire us to be better.
May your day be filled with rest, good food, and quality time with loved ones. We hope you are enjoying a well-deserved break!
Happy Thanksgiving!
This is what it's all about. ❤️
JCS administrators will tell you that connecting with students is the best part of their day.
This week, Superintendent Crum and Principal Nick Schuerman were spotted in a BES art class. They didn't just visit—they jumped right in, creating alongside our young artists and had a blast.
Moments like these are a perfect reminder that no matter the title, the heart of an educator always shines through. ✨
Drop a ❤️ to celebrate all of our hands-on leaders!
